D&D 5E (OOC) (5E) The Village

[Ancalagon]

Ok, let's start cobbling this together... I'll be editing this post a number of times as I get the details in.

Lal Qalandar

Level 1 Barbarian (Hermit)
Human (variant)

Stat rolls (unmodified) : 4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 1, 6, 3] = 12
4D6.HIGH(3) = [3, 5, 1, 5] = 13
4D6.HIGH(3) = [1, 1, 4, 2] = 7
4D6.HIGH(3) = [1, 1, 2, 4] = 7
4D6.HIGH(3) = [5, 2, 6, 5] = 16
4D6.HIGH(3) = [1, 4, 5, 3] = 12


Erm... damn, that's a funky roll ... although the total modifier is +2 so this is a playable character... not sure what I'm going to do with that but I'll manage!

... so I can't be a "mystic" type character and have low wisdom, and I definitely can't dump str or con... well I guess I will have a bum knee (bad dex). Now do I want to be a simpleton or offensive? :/

I could also forego the spell feat to get better stats.

edit: Ok the basic sheet. Upon looking at the barbarian and my paltry starting equipment, I can't afford to dump dex so... well... :/

Human (standard) barbarian (hermit)

Str: 17
Dex 13
Con 14
Int 8
Wis 13
Cha 8

Skill proficiencies: Religion, Medecine, Perception, Athletics
Tools proficiencies: Herbalist kit

I'll wait for the Rogue Gallery Thread to fully flesh this out, I think this is enough to inform the other players and the GM. However, the following could matter:

Background:

Lal Qalandar is from a far away land, across the sea from the Sovereign Lands. Following disappointments in early life, Lal retreated from the day to day world and entered a long period of meditation and fasting, leaving everything behind, even his name (Lal Qalandar means "Ruby-colored wandering holy man" - a title after his red robes and lifestyle). One day, after receiving a sudden insight, Lal abandoned his meditations and started a life of wandering - sustaining himself through petty jobs, preaching, helping the less fortunate, protecting travelers from brigands and living on the road. He took upon himself the mantle of the Dervishe - the mendican wanderer.

On a sea voyage, a freak storm blew the ship he was on far away, and he and a few survivors reached the Sovereign Lands, to the astonishment of everyone. Lal Qalandar's lifestyle and teaching soon became problematic however, upseting some of the local clergy. When word came of troubles far north, he was sent as part of the "rescue" party as a way to get rid of him. Lal cheerfully accepted the order.

 

[River Song]

I believe [MENTION=6805147]River Song[/MENTION] was planning on a cleric of Erathis, so some healing there.

Most certainly, I have got him sorted just need to put it in a suitable format for pbp, I am probably just steal someones template and go from there.

Willow, Wood Elf Druid

[SBLOCK=Background]

Willow's stringy black hair hangs down over her ghostly white face, obscuring what most would call her best feature: her pale blue eyes. She is quite healthy, though those concerned may think she looks underweight, even for an elf. Her clothes are unkempt and often dusty from the road. A small snake appears at home wrapped around the crooked quarterstaff she holds in her wiry fingers.

Those who once knew Willow would say she was beautiful, vibrant, and full of life. She learned the ways of the druid while acting as a scout for the druid circle. At any time should cound be found travelling through the treetops, her raven hair flowing easily behind her, and the sparkle in her pale blue eyes a shining glimmer of hope that all is right in the world.

But those days are gone now, and Willow lives a lone drifter, unkempt and dusty from the road. Her once beautiful hair now hangs in a tangled mass, covering her gaunt face. Her eyes still shine the purest blue beneath the miserable creature she has become, but the sparkle of hope for which they were known has long since faded.

As a scout, she should have seen it. She should have been able to warn them, but the necromancer's magic was too strong, too vile. His hoards of undead stormed the grove, destroying everything--and everyone. Those few that survived fled, leaving the others to their fate. She will never forgive herself that she ran.

She returned to the grove some days later, her and a few others. Together they collected what was left of the fallen and destroyed the lingering undead, both old and newly created from the bodies of her friends and family. Ritual after ritual was performed, sending their orphaned souls home, and then Willow left without a word.

[Ancalagon]

This may help people still picking their characters:

Tglassy: some kind of drow wizard (necro?)
JustinCase: also a drow, archfey warlock (brothers?)
River Song: Cleric, cloistered scholar, knowledge domain, human
Shayuri: thiefling sorceror/barbarian/paladin (bavmorda?)
Ancalagon: "religious barbarian"
Charwoman Gene: Human fighter
Quickleaf: Elven Rogue
Industrygothica: Elven druid


I hope I didn't make any errors!

With a cleric and a druid, I think we have magical healing well covered.

Evil-ish. Please no disrupting the campaign with evil actions or attacking other PCs (including stealing from them or setting them up to be attacked by someone else).

 

[Shayuri]

Hehe. 'Bavmorda' was a play on IG's character's name. Shan't be my character's name.

Hmm...what to make, what to make?

Kiraya, out of curiosity, how far/long do you see this running? Roughly.

You know, I never actually saw that movie... Is that cause for revocation of my nerd card? I hope not!

BACKGROUND
Born into Meviiran, Vintar was a fat lazy child. He hated exertion and like to read so shirked as much as he could to get the time to study that he really craved. Despite the thrashings from his father he kept finding ways to get to the books in the church and spend hours studying history and anything else that came to mind. He eventually hatched his cunning plan of becoming an understudy to the drunken priest and writing his sermons for him and ensuring that his perpetual state of inebriation guaranteed the priest NEVER realised he had never agrees to take Vintar on. Life was great now for the young man, until his God called his bluff.
